Then we can start the sasion verry soon.

Think we are going back to the old rules Tony. Weight 1120kg and a bhp limit of 473hp (597max pp) I think! Makes for closer racing hopefully.
This was Symps plan, I think it is the best.

Mercedes-Benz CLK Touring Car ’00
Audi Abt TT-R Touring Car ’02
BMW M3 GTR Race Car ’01

Technical regulation

Ok guys was thinking why don't we do 2 sprint races they where fun in the test races we did. Should make for some good races

Technical regulation
M3/TT-R
Engine: 473 BHP

Max. PP: 597 PP

CLK
Engine: 470 BHP
Weight: 1120 kg

Not fully tested but with a bit of fine tuning I'm sure the cars will be pretty equal. Also I think we should just use racing hard tires it's extra work having to practice on 2 sets of tires.

Once we sort out the regs/race format I'll make a thread for DTM6, anyway let me know what you guys think.

That sound verry good m8.
Lets make that so but we put the opel to the list with tt and m3.
Because its also good.
And with 2 sprint races i find it verry good.
And only racing hard is also best thing.
Two sprint races.
Per race 15 lap or 20 is good.
I find we can start with that.

Yeah, if we could include the a4 with slightly more pp it could work. Think the astra is equally as fast as the rest so its pp can be the same.

Unless this makes it too complicated I'd like to have as many cars in the field as possible.

2sprint races sound good green

 

[Green]

Ok guys 👍, I've started work on the thread I'll try get it up by next week.Yeah Astra will be ok not sure about A4 but we'll test it with more pp and see results. Yeah I think sprint races will be around 20-25mins each that will give us around an hour with a 5-10min break between races.

Im on the same situation as Symp at the moment. Work is busy and with the park season starting soon my shifts change. So i wont be able to do every 3rd or 4th Tuesday. Good to see someone has taken the series on. I'll pass on any info that they need to make the change over smooth. I should make it for most of the races. Best to make a new thread so the person running it has the OP.

Yeah I'm working on some stuff for the new thread to make it look pretty and I hope you and symp race with us when ever possible. I'll do my best to make it a good season 👍

 

[IMMORTALPILOT]

Cool guys yes difficult to say with the a4.
Because the car is best in the straight but verry bad in corners.
But i think we can start with this what green have sai.
